Rule 16-3-12.7.1 - Acquiring Site Numbers (Trinomials)

To obtain Mississippi State Site Numbers (trinomials), site cards must be submitted to MDAH on appropriate card stock. Electronic versions of our site cards may be submitted for the purpose of being assigned a trinomial, but a site card will not be considered final until a hard copy has been submitted.

Please allow up to thirty (30) days to receive trinomials. Large submissions (20 or more) may require more time to process.

When your submissions are reviewed, you will receive an email with trinomials or comments requesting clarification or more information (please be aware that incomplete or inaccurate site cards will require editing/correcting prior to issuance of trinomials). Please submit corrections within 30 days.

The link for procedures and guidance for site card submission can be found here:

Submitting final site cards

When you receive your trinomials, you will receive an email with an attached .pdf of the final site card. Please print the forms on 120 lb. white acid free cardstock and submit them with your report.
